The games included have been deemed the "best" based on the game's quality in design, the level of immersion, storytelling, and character progression.

Lots of RPG games are being offered in stores. Whether it's free or with premium accounts. But to be honest RPG Games are the most enjoyable in terms of game mechanics, animation, stories, etc. And this RPG-genre games is divided into different classifications: FPS, TPS, might it be about guns, tanks, ships, planes, and many more So here, I will give the Top 5 Adventure RPG games of all time

1. WOW (World of Warcraft)

Might it be not too familiar with those people who lived just before everything advanced. But this wondrous RPG Adventure game is very action-packed and a "must see and play" game. It boasts a very high reviews score all over the world as it is still being the most played game until this current year It provides different characters with different races with different weapons and skills to be used in the journey. Not to mention its creator is a famous company named as BLIZZARD. Rings a bell? Of course, this huge company created many top-selling and creative games like StarCraft Series, Overwatch, Diablo Series, and a mobile game called Hearthstone and many more

2. Zelda

One of the "antique" games that is still alive in our hearts. With all of its remakes and reboots, and sequels/prequels, the adventure is still continuously flowing and our veins. It all revolves in a single main character named Zelda who is always at danger that her life is not the "not-so peaceful" one but worry not as Link will always save her an rpg adventure games that consists of whether hack and slash, or a real time battle, or a turn-based system.

3. Final Fantasy (FF Series)

These astounding games that consist both of turn-based mechanics and real-time strategic battle will try your luck, skill, and alertness in everything. Might it be a bit disappointing since most of their games portrays their character to be dying at the ending of every stories. OOPS, spoiler alert. Yes, you heard it right. These games make you build your character up, raising their stats and making such good weapons just for them to be killed by those unbillable villains and anti-heroes. Once I have played two of their games and I felt empty when I finished it. Why? Because my characters died. Familiar of Final Fantasy Type-0? The 13 of them died because of a single god-like creature that teleports and infinitely being revived. Your super built equipment won't even scratch it and the most despairing moments of mine? They all died holding each other hands. While smiling. And that made me tear like a little girl.

4. Prototype

Ever heard of something like a Main Character with monstrous abilities and powers? This is one of them. This is not recommended for those people who have sensitive ears in hearing curse words and stuffs. This has a seriously astonishing graphics that even the tiniest of blood is still seeable. There are two franchise of this game. One with an innocent person that has been experimented over and over until he became a monster. A person with shape-shifting abilities that can make his arms into weapons and has a superpower ability like gliding, running into high building, making people fly by just a single blow of punch. This is quite suiting when you feel angry. Pour all of that grudge into this game and long after you made a scene, some police-like agents will try to kill and subjugate you but you can still escape from them, even with those helicopters that locks on you.

5. Minecraft

A pixelated adventure open-world game. Sounds not promising right? Because of the word "pixelated" as we expect every rpg games to be having a good art, human-like characters and stunning gameplays. But this one still boasts of fame. Mysterious, as it is a very addicting games especially for those with child-like hearts and of course, children. All you need to do in this game is collect resources, build a shelter, mine ores, minerals and soils. Sounds simple, but unfortunately it isn't as there are hideous and dangerous lurking in the dark. Trying to kill you and poof, your game is over and lost everything you have made, unless you we're respawned near the place where you built your future.

6. Mass Effect 2

Being considered as the peak of the Mass Effect franchise, Mass Effect 2 simply features the best gameplay and best story line BioWare intended its players to sink their teeth into. Smoothing out a lot of the rough edges from the previous version and fine-tuning the combat elements thereby making the overall gameplay more robust. However, the best aspect by far in the game was the introduction of the renegade interrupt system, where during dialogue sequences, players as Commander Shepard can take the "most direct action" Yes, that's punching something (human/alien) in the face.

7. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Taking place 200 years after the previous game. The game has the new player character designed to defeat Alduin the World-Eater dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. Throughout the course of the game, the player completes quests and establishes their character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors, allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time. Skyrim was developed using the Creation Engine, and departing from the previous game's class selection, the dev team wanted a more unique and more diverse game world than the last.

8. Dragon Age: Inquisition

Similar to its predecessors, Dragon Age: Inquisition consists mostly of the elements found in a typical RPG; players controlling their customized character (Inquisitor) and the companions they meet (Inquisition) and follow on with their adventures. Dragon Age: inquisition had received critical acclaim following its release, being praised for its story, soundtrack, superb detail, voice-acting, and the engaging combat

9. Dark Souls 3

From Software just hit it out of the ballpark in terms of the originality in their design of the entire Dark Souls Franchise. Having been dubbed as one of the most difficult games out there because it's so well made, Dark Souls 3 demands the player to be more responsive with faster action and reaction wherein simple button mashing will just have you ending up dead. The game's beautiful and simultaneously hideous art just has that allure that players can't avoid. Paired with the game's faster and tighter controls, and the smooth animation, Dark Souls 3 is the most fun Dark Souls game to play.

10. Diablo 3: Reaper of souls

Fans waited 12 long years for the continuation of the Diablo franchise, but in 2012 the wait was over and definitely well worth it. Blizzard introduced in Diablo 3 the absolute best inventory and management system for the entire franchise, as well as greatly improving the multiplayer experience than ever before. However, what truly elevated Diablo 3 from the rest was the Reaper of Souls Expansion securing its signature classic design and gameplay. This RPG is what I personally stuck with since its release and purchasing the expansion pack when it went live. The players just can't get enough of Diablo 3's outstanding gameplay and feel, with its character's diverse skills and the loot...Oh, the loot! So many items to gear up your character that'll have you melting enemies in no time, this game has really delivered.

11. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

Shadows of Amn is not only one of the greatest RPGs of all time, but also one of the densest and detailed.

It is an example of how obsessive and triumphant a pair can be in the creation of a new world, going through key points such as the system of dialogues and the development of characters.

The central theme of the experience is a fascinating, captivating and despicable villain giving the story a good rhythm and keeping the tension high. It is one of those games that combines a colossal world with an equally deep gameplay, combining Dungeons & Dragons. Baldur's Gate II is a perfect example of such a complete experience in each of its fields that many others have tried to match without success.

12. The Witcher III

Many RPGs have focused on telling the story of a unique character, an explorer, and their adventures, but few titles have done so with the mastery of The Witcher 3. Its excellence represents itself in the setting, extensive plagued scenario of sunsets adorned with tree tops.

The true strength of The Witcher III lies in its story line to have all these great places with NPCs that gives us memorable quests and help us feel that we are one of the most treasured creations of the scene.
